I installed Rogers short throw shifter kit today, and it works great and was very easy to install. If you have a body lift it will make life alot easier. Thanks Roger.

Now if I ever get off my b*tt and get the short throw kit for the transmission shift lever design finished, I'll ne happy. After running a short throw shifter on my VW for a couple of years, I'm spoiled.

What a coincidence, I was going to email you and see if you were planning on coming out w/ a tranny one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> How much do you think you'll sell 'em for?

I'd be interested in the short throw tranny shifter as well. I feel like I'm driving a Freightliner sometimes. Yeah, I know, I'm a big baby! <img border="0" alt="[Baby]" title="" src="graemlins/baby.gif" />

But it should cost less than the $200 that LC Engineering gets for theirs.

Cool. I was gonna order one through Marlin but I'll wait and check out yours first. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Yeah, c'mon Roger!!! I'm waiting as well. Gotta get that 'quick shift' for my dd to keep up with all the rice rockets leaving a red light! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Yeah I would be interested in one too as this is one of the reasons that I am still debating a 2" body lift on my '3 V6 (so it would be a R150F tranny if it matters). I see a lot of 2" lifts around w/o problems so is there other way to get around the possible clearance problems w/o cutting? I am still debating on a possible drivetrain lift as well relieving the need for a short shifter but I since the process would be in stages the problem would still exist for a while...

I had shifting trouble at a 1" lift (thus the short throw shifter). I even did a 1/4" lift for a guy who installed some rock sliders too close the the body and he had shifting problems. Others have done 1.5" and taller lifts and had no problems.

It seems to boil down to how well centered the hole in the floor is to the shift levers themselves. Some have simply redrilled the mounting holes for the shift boot base to move it to a better location. Some have bent levers, some have trimmed the metal in the base of the shift lever boot:

Roger is right, there is more than one way to solve shifter problems after a body lift. I first cut the opening larger and that worked until I changed to an 86 SR5 trans and t case. I cut some more but it would still pop out of gear sometimes. After installing Rogers Short Throw Kit I would recommend it even if you dont have shifter problems. Its just click click to each gear and works better than ever. Thanks again Roger.
